I have been learning in my spiritual life that to denigrate someone who is made in the image of God is the same as denigrating God Himself so I’ll refrain from calling this, so called, doctor by any names other that ignorant. Which he is. He has obviously never studied the carnivore diet or ever experienced anyone who has been a long term carnivore. I noticed that he is obese and doesn’t look very healthy….i wonder why?
I would love to see a debate between him and a real doctor like Dr. Ken Berry.

I was shocked to learn that most olive oils are adulterated. I have the California brand in my pantry. Checked into it a few years back, but this is a good reminder to check again, as these companies get bought out and tend to change their products.

I got into an argument on quora about the MD and this guy just insisted that it was real so I asked him how long had he lived in the Mediterranean. Of course he had never been there. I let him know that I worked and lived in the Mediterranean area in Greece and Turkey and no one ate anything close to what The Mediterranean Diet proclaimed. His response was that just because I lived there it didn't mean the diet wasn’t real. Oh well, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink.

I've heard that over there they chuckle at the term "mediterranean diet" that we use over here, and that it's not even close. One short/reel if someone from the mediterranean said that a mediterranean diet is essentially "If it moves, eat it" lol

....and some of us just stumbled upon it by happen chance.
I didn't know carnivore form keto from animal based to anything. My sone walked up on the porch and I noticed he had lost some weight. He said he was on the carnivore diet and was only eating meats and water. I jumped in head first.
I was learning/listening to reason well after the benefits started. And the funniest part is that I had no idea of any of the benefits other than weight loss.
The good Lord looks after fools and drunks and since I don't drink............you can figure out the rest.

"no cake, just steak" I love that!

Yes! I like this. Great comparison.

Better advice. Think of ultra processed foods as if they are cigarettes. Because that's exactly how healthy they are

As a side note: it's Funny how "A Mediterranean Diet" jumps up on these discussions.

There is no such thing.

Agreed.
I watched a video with him doing pull-ups with the Secretary of Defense with some young military guys.
He looks to be in really good health, physically, and from what I read a straight carnivore guy.
He might be a politician we can believe. LOL

I’d put RFK up against any of those people claiming carnivore is detrimental to your health. He is a great public testimonial of the power of carnivore.

His YouTube channel is a must see for anyone struggling with mindset. And staying committed.

I think he's definitely a tool of the enemy, and I wish he'd just leave the food alone!

Wanna split a hotdog @Geezy ? Ironically the hot dog is probably one of the least of one's processed food concerns.
The first bullet point is the only one that's good advice.
The second bullet point should be "eliminate sugary drinks altogether. You're not a child"
The 3rd bullet point should read "bring along an orange, and never ever open a bag of chips" lol

Thank you for sharing this important truth!🙏

made a lifestyle choice in January 2025. Feeling great looking for like minded people.

I'm now re-reading a book that I read in six days. Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins. Unbelievably inspiring. Three thumbs up...borrowing a thumb

Hi ALL!!
Joining today as I would like to find my tribe. My husband and I have been ketovore/carnivore for just over a year. Found a great deal of healing initially that gave us our lives back. We have found it difficult socially as our family and friends think we are going to kill ourselves eating this way. We have found a significant decrease in invitations to events or gatherings and have even had people directly message me asking me to stop talking about it as it is 'triggering' for them. While I appreciate their candour, I am finding the need to search for community and support. So here I am.
My husband and I live in Melbourne Australia. We have collectively lost over 60 kgs (132lbs) pretty equal amounts between us, overcome addictions, normalised our HbA1Cs, become more active, and feel better than we have for a long long time - maybe ever. I'm a little stuck at the moment so am hoping to find some suggestions from the community's collective experience but mostly, I really want to be able to join conversations about people's experiences without being shut down or told I'm doing something wrong.
Hoping this is a good community that are accepting of the nuances in this way of living. Looking forward to exploring the site a little more.

Welcome.
I am just starting a 'return to carnivore' myself. I lost around 95 pounds in less than a year. Along the way I stayed strict carnivore but experimented with fat content and protein content. I have gained 21lbs since early December die to hitting a 200g per day protein target.
I added protein shakes and the occasion pre-made protein drinks. I also drink milk, in spurts, but somewhat regularly. Milk is a 'stall device' for me. When my weight was falling really fast it didn't take much at all to stall the loss.
This week I completed a 72 hour fast and am returning to what has worked the best for me. I am eating fatty red meats til I am full and then eating again when I am hungry. This works out to one meal per day on most days. Some days it might be two and then sometimes it is actually every other day. Sort of letting my body dictate when and how much I eat. I'm going to ditch the drinks and such as they contain sugar, some, not a lot, but enough to trigger hunger (which was needed to hit 200g of protein)
Good luck. It is much more important to find what works for you rather than to try to make someone else's plan work on you.

59 yo Brit Rick
Lost 150lbs in 18 months post lockdown on trad keto (6 months, hated it) and then 12 months Lion Diet (loved it)
Fell off the wagon and regained bad habits and 100lbs

Looking to support and be supported. Set 600 day rejuvention plan. Currently day 15. I am including well fermented
foods (kraut, really old cheese and real kefir) so apologies in advance if that is frowned upon

See you around. I had a lot of success and I realise now that I was in a lot of communities and that was a big part

If all I had was sardines I could fast for weeks, maybe even months. LOL
Just not a fan. I have tried, even as of late, per the Primal Gal it is the best thing going.
Just can't eat them.

Welcome back.

Finding and connecting the parallels between my faith as a Christian and my journey as a carnivore.
It’s been awhile since I’ve been inspired to write one of these but when I came across this during my devotion this morning it was just too good to pass up. I hope you can benefit from it.
I came across this quote from Blaise Pascal who was a brilliant 17th-century French mathematician and physicist who had a dramatic Christian conversion experience and thereafter devoted much of his thought to Christianity and philosophy.
“Men despise religion. They hate it and are afraid it may be true. The cure for this is first to show that religion is not contrary to reason, but worthy of reverence and respect. Next make it attractive, make good men wish it were true, and then show that it is.”
WOW! Does that not resonate with carnivore or what? Very profound on the Christian side of things but speaks volumes to the carnivore community as well.
People don’t downplay what we do because they believe it’s wrong so much as because it might be true and requires a change in themselves that they are afraid to commit to. So when confronted with the unbelievers try to be patient and kind to them and give them a reason to wish it were true. You are the best example of that truth.
Keep Calm and Carnivore On.
